About this map

Falun sits at the eastern edge of this section of Saline County, where the plains give way to a series of distinctive geological markers. The landscape is defined by notable elevations such as Soldier Cap Mound, Potato Hill, and Coiner Dome, which rise above the drainages of Ralston Cr and Spring Cr. These high points have long served as landmarks in an area dominated by agricultural land divisions and a grid of rural roads like S Brookville Rd and W Salemsborg Rd.

Cultural history is anchored by the Dry Creek Cem situated near the intersection of S Soderborg Rd and W Sundgren Rd. The map illustrates the persistent settlement patterns of the region, from the residential core of Falun along S Main St to the remote family-named landmarks like Weston Hill. The network of creeks, including Castle Cr and W Dry Cr, highlights the vital water sources that dictated early ranching and farming layouts.
